While Oracle Application Express (APEX) offers many advantages, there are also some
drawbacks to consider:

Limited Customization:

• Pre-built Components: While pre-built components can be helpful, they can limit the
level of customization for highly unique application needs. Creating a truly unique user
interface might require more development effort.
• Limited Control: The visual development environment may not offer the same level of
control over application logic as traditional coding methods.

Performance Considerations:

• Complex Applications: APEX might not be the best choice for very complex
applications with highly specialized performance requirements. For such scenarios,
traditional development approaches might offer greater optimization potential.
• Database Reliance: Performance is heavily tied to the underlying Oracle Database. If
you're not using Oracle Database, APEX is not an option.

Learning Curve:

• Conceptual Shift: The low-code development approach requires a different mindset


compared to traditional coding. Developers familiar with imperative programming
languages might need some time to adjust.
• Limited Skill Pool: The pool of developers with expertise in APEX might be smaller
compared to developers with experience in more widely used programming languages.

Additional Considerations:

• Vendor Lock-in: If you heavily rely on APEX for your applications, you may become
somewhat locked into the Oracle Database ecosystem.
• Debugging: Debugging complex issues within APEX applications might require
additional effort compared to traditional development environments with more
established debugging tools.
In summary, APEX is a powerful tool for rapid application development, but it's important
to be aware of its limitations. For complex applications with highly specific requirements,
traditional development approaches might be more suitable.
